Information for Applicants

In July of 2011 we completed our transition from a PGY 2-4 to a PGY 1-4 Program. For the 2014-2015 interview season, the Cook County EM Residency will offer 16 Categorical (PGY-1) positions to start in July of 2015. We no longer offer an Advanced PGY-2 track.

Candidates must be either a fourth year medical student in an accredited medical school or medical school graduate in an accredited post graduate training program. Please contact our residency coordinator Ms. Ethel Lee at elee2@cookcountyhhs.org for further details.

The Cook County Emergency Medicine Residency Program participates in the Electronic Residency Application Service. No other applications are accepted. Fourth year U.S. medical students should contact their medical school’s Dean’s Office for more information. If you are not a fourth year U.S. medical student, then contact the organizations below for more information.

The application deadline is December 1, 2014. All materials below are required and must be submitted via ERAS.
